OUR RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE. Rucumonp, Va., Dec. 10, 1859. Committe: on the Joint Resolution of Mr. Barbour on the Harper's Ferry Affair—Special Term of the Circuit Court of Jefferson County; (0 Try Stevens— Exclusion of Northern ‘School Teachers—Negre Testimony Against Northerners— Military Schools, dc. ‘The Speaker of the House of Delegates announced to-day the following committee on the part of the House to con- sider tho joint resolution on the Harper’s Forry invasion offered a few days ago by Mr. James Barbour, of Culpep- por:—Mossrs. James Barbour, Allen T. Caperton, ef Mon- | roe; Georgo W. Hopkins, of Washington county; Jamos L. Kemper, of Madison; J. 8. Duckwall, of Morgan; Wynd- ham Robertson, of Richmond city; Edwin Watson, of Pa- laski; John Knote, of Wheeling; Johm 7. Anderson, of Botetourt; John Orgain, of Lunenburg; Robert L. Davis, of Campbell; William E. Arnold, of Lewis, and Isaiah A. Welch, of Kanawha. These gentlemen combine an amount of talent equal to any similar number to be found in any public body in the cduntry. They are alll lawyers of emi- nence in the State, distinguished alike for their moderation and good judgment, Woe may, therefore, look for a class of measures at their hands which will moet the approba- | tion of the State and bear the impress of the intellect, judg- ‘ment and moderation of their framers. The Committee of Courts of Justice to-day reported a bill authorizing the holding of a special term of the Circuit Court of Jefferson county for the purpose of trying Stovens. Mr. Davis, of Campbell county, in the House of Dele- gates to-day offered the following resolution, which was adopted :-— Resolved, That the Committee of Schools and Colleges inquire | jeacy of so amendiog the general laws in refe- see alucalon as to-provide. {iat the money appropriated to be paid to teachers shall not be paid to any except such as are naive citizens of Virginia, or of the slavebolding States, or ‘who have been resiaent cuizeas of Virginia for — years, 30 as to provide a #0, by the appointment of a Board cf Ki Hon or otherwise, for the recommendation of books to be pub: Lished in Virginia aod used in the schools, Mr. C. D. Cormway, of Cumberland county, offered the following resolution, which was also adopted:— Resolved, That the Committee of Courts of Justice inquire {nto the expediency of revising the iaws for the enforeement of penalties (or tampering Wiuh slaves, aod of passiag laws peo- Miding for the arrest of persons suspected thereof, aod all va- grants and others without visible occupation or su sistence, Sod upen so remoceliing the Iaws of evidence in sich caste as to make negro testimony admissible against the citizens of ail the Sites where negro testimony has been made admiasible by their laws. It is contemplated by the Legislature to establish two additional Muitary Institutesin Virginia—one in the north- western and the other in tho southwestern region of the Commonwealth. This movement is made in view of the future necessity for men of military skill'to aid in de- fending the Vid Dominion against Northern aggression. Before any efficient materials for such a purpose can be | turned out by these stitutions in embryo, the necessity for them, it is probable, will have passed away. Tne Union will be on a firmer basis by that time, or it will have ceased to exist. But then there is need, in the latter event, of au army of defence, and itis tn view of that that these military preparations are being made. Ricuosp, Va., Dee. 14, 1859. The Measures tobe Passed by the Virginia Legislature and their Effect Upon the Intertrade of North and South— Effect of the Discussion in Congress—Proceedings of the Mectingn on the Harper's Ferry Invasion—€he South De- termined to Demand an Eapression of Opinion from the Charleston Convention in Behalf of Protection—Appro- priction for Purchase of Arms by the Virginia Legisla- ture—Governor Wise’s Opinion about the Union—He Condemns the Issue Raised in Congress upon the Helper Book—The Northern States to be Asked to Repeal Their Unconstitutional Laws—Disunion to be the Result of Re- Fusal—Letter from the Hon. C. J. Fuulkner to Governor Wise Soliciting Belicf for Too Men Wounded at Harper's Ferry, dc. Fromall I can see and ascertain from prominent mem- bers of the Legislature, measures will be passed at the precent session of that body, ac well as by other Southern | Legislatures, of a character 80 stringent as effectually to nullify the Union, so far as regards the commercial inter- couree of the two sections. In all but name the Union will have been virtually dissolved when the measures now in | contemplation shall have been enforced. No vestige the cubstantial bases upon which it is founded, save its bare political characteristics, will be left to render its perpetuity desirable. The will be literally undermined, and nothing will have been Jeft that the strongest Union man will desire to see preserved. The imposts which it is intended to levy upon all goods imported from the North will as effectually check the trade between the two sections as would civil war. The popular sentiment upon this subject is | 60 strong that cven in the absence of any legal restric- tions, commercial intercourse between the North and South must essentially diminish, The merchants here will be compelled to resort to some other than the Northern markets for their supplies, if they expect any patronage at home. But then, the facilities for import- ing from abroad do not exist at present in the South, nor are there manufactories to produce what may be ne- ceseary for home consumption. Time must be afforded for providing substitutes for Northern products, else how can they be obtained? Necessity, after all, will'be found to supersede, at least for longer period, many of the plans set on foot for the commercial estrangement of the South from the North. No doubt, however, but that a material diminution will take place in importations from the North, and this diminution will continue in regniar successive ratio with the increasing facilities for importation and ma- nufacturing at the Sonth. Many look upon the Harper's Ferry insurrection asa benefit, in so much as it tenda to | the results which I have just indicated, The discussions now going on iu Congrees are producing the very worst results in the South. They are embitter. ing, to the point of rank and envenomed hostility, the mind of every man, and stimulating ia a still stronger | degree the disunion fveling now preva entamong Southern men of ail classes and parties, Bickman, Haskin and their brother apostates are denounced with a bitterness | which has no parallel save in vne language usually applied to Sewardand Greeley. The coincidence of these Douglas democrats alone of the whole body of the democratic party giving in their adherence to the black republicans, and the revelgtions by Kellogg of the intorview between Douglas and Greeley in the parior of the former, have pro- duced an impression anything but complimentary to the integrity of the “Little Giant.” The people of the South, as far as I can ascertain, regara him as utterly unre. liable, and look upon Hickman and Haskin as reflecting truly the ultimate design and ends of Douglas. He will not receive the vote of one Southern gate in the Charleston Convention, and it is generally doubted whether, in tho event of his nomination, he could carry one State in tne South. South at this moment than any mau outside the ranks of the abolitionists. No day has passed, since the meeting of the Legislature Of this State, that the proceedings of mectings held ail over the country, are not presented for consideration to ‘doth houses. The proceedings of each meeting embo ty suggestions to the Legistature of a very stringent chara ter, all of which, no doubt, will be duly considered by tus Harper's Ferry Committee, to which these document? referred. They exhibit a very remarkable state of ing, which, if echoed by the committee in the series of ‘Measures Which they contemplate recommending, Will excite wonder and regret in the mind of every man who Joves peace ani harmony, Your Union meetings at the North weigh as nothing in the scale against these ments. The people of the South never doubted th to their interests of the distinguished men who fiz those meetings. They say that material enoug Union meeting could be found at any time, in any the North; but these meetings give no assuran black republicans intend abating one jot of thei c ‘essions or Warfare upon the South, Tasgure you, so little are they regarded, that not one out of one hundred ever reads the proceedings of these meetings and Cushing's speeches were eagerly sougst after and read, more, bowever, because of the distinction attaching to the names of these gentlomen than a desire to ascor ‘tain their sentiments upon the questions which now con. trol the public mind. It was the style of language, the Oratory, and not the subject or the sentiments of these gentlemen with reference to it, that occasioned the interest manifested here in the proceedings of the Boston Union meeting. I have frequently observed members of the Legislature wink signiicantly at each other, and laugh merrily, as they listened to observations regarding these ‘Union meetings. ‘They are waste of time and labor so far 8 they are designed to restore confidence or stay the virulent measures of retaliation and revenge now ia con- demplation here and elsewhere in the South. ‘The Southern delegations ot the Charleston Convention ‘Will insist upon a recognition of the rights of Southern slayeholders to protection by Congress for their slave pro- perty in the Territories. This is the paramount question ‘With the people of the South. Party has ocased to be a matter of much concern. It will obtain consideration 80 Jong ag it does not conflict with personal rights. It is con. tended that the Union, at best, is ata discount, and this question might as well be made the basis of a disuaion as any otter, ; siderations aufecting the safety of the Union iow are utterly disregarded where any sa 2 involved. ¥ gar’ 'Y Small interest is APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF ARMS, Mr. James Barbour, from the Joint Harper's Ferry Committee, presented to the House of Delegates to-day the following bill, which, on bis motion, was reforred. to the (ooponned hertictertf Affairs:— A Sppropriating the sum of one hundred #housan dollars, fer the purchase of arms and monies of 2 1.

T understand that a demand will be made by Vit | and other Southern States, of those States North that | passed Personal Liberty laws, or laws of any other | Scription in conflict with the constitution of the United | States and the rights of the South, to repeal such laws, as + being m violation of the compact of the Union; and incase | of refusal, the Scuth wiil withdraw from the Union. This | purpose, I can state upon the very best authority, is de- | termined apon; and be assured it will, of all others, con- stitute the most tangible basis of disunion. The alterna- | tive of expupging these laws or disunion will be present- | ed, and in the reeult will depend the existence or discon- tinvance of the Union. There will be no agitation upon | the subject. The result will be determined by a “yes” | or “no.” LETTER FROM THR HON. C. J, FAULKNER TO GOV. WISK. | _ ‘The following letter from the Hon.

One is W. Richerdson, of Martinsburg, abd. the ‘other Rauel ©. of Charlestown They ure both ‘oung, r men, with families de- pendent upon them for support, and without means, except snch as might have been derived from their personal labor. Ricbardson was one of the Berkely volunteers, under Capt. Alourtis, who made that spirited assault upon the traitors shortly after they had sought refuge in the engine house, and who, while so angaged, encountered a shot from a Sharpe’ ride which shattered his musket, hurling a splinter from. wood of hia gun or a fragment of the ball into his left eye, ut- terly destroying it, and otherwise severely injuring him. ‘He n sitice lying atthe Eagle Hotel, in Martiosburg, cheered and consoled, it is true, by the sympathy of -his friends and of his brave companions ia that assault, but exhausted of bis means and disabled from work Samuel C. Young received a shot which shattered his right arm.

The town is filled by strangers, who have been at- tracted here by the execution. As the time approached the excitement increased, and the warmth, ardor and patriotism of soldiers and citizens waxed hot. ‘The eagerness with which the Heranp and the illustrat. ed papers are sought for evinces the decided interest felt in a}l that occurs ; the Heraap is mainly sought after, be- cause of its high-toned and manly defence and support of the Union, the South and Virginia. Thereis a very favor- able cpinion entertained by the majority of the people in this section of the State towards your most valuable and independent journal. Of this I am glad, inasmuch asthat vile sheet, the Trilwne, has admitted into its columns some of the vilest slanders against the people of this place, and the State generaliy, that were ever concocted. People here say that the Hzxatp has, ever since the Brown raid, taken the true ground, and with the true conservative spirit waged honorable warfare against abolitionism, | and stood up manfully for the South and the rights guaranteed us by the constitution. The Bens bas universally, in Virginia, won golien Opivious.

It is true that there had been a petition presented to the Legislature to that effect by some friends of Copple from Ohio and Towa, but the statement in that petition that Coppie had many friends here is ultogether erroneous. If Iam notinerror, itis very generally believed here by the entire community that it was Coppie who shot Mr. Beckham at Harper’s Verry. There was no evidence to that effect adduced at bis tial; but had it been requisite to Produce it, one of the citizens of that place, who had been taken a prisoner, and who was guarded a4 Coppie, could have proved it, Such being known here, it has ne- cessarily rendered Coppie’s hanging very certain. Lhave ‘been informed by Mr. Young, one of the wounded at Harper’s Ferry, that Coppie stated to him, fince his conviction, that Brown ordered him to “finish him” after he was wounded, and that he refused to do so. If this incident was made known to Governor ‘Wise, it is possible that Governor Wise may have, at one time entertained the idea of commuting dop- Pie's sentence. Mossrs. Butler and Stanley, of Ohio, and a Mr. Winn, of Iowa, who arrived’ here the other day aro friends of Coppie. The purpose for which leap this place was to give Coppie some very wi and good advice. Iam in possession of & portion of their admonitions to Coppie, which I herein give. Mr, Butler reminded Coppie that he should have pein that the Sen of = United States ren- dere perative upon all good citizens to respect the rights of the South, and that it reeognized the right of the | ‘Southern States to hold slaves as property. Mr. Butler also remarked to Coppic that he should have known better, and that it was very wrong to interfere in the matter in the manner in which he did. He was also admonished by Mr. B. to prepare for his sad tate, and urgently advised to come out and make a clean breastof ali he knew, and also to write something in the way of an acknowiedgemant that such interference with the institutions of the South ‘Was wrong, and condemn it. Messrs. Butler, Stanicy and Winn are—so Iam mformed by the Shoriff—mem- bers of the Society of Friends, Thave just learned an incident of Cook, which betra; he great philanthropy of his magnanimous beart for slave. This I get from a gentleman who is porsonally cognizant of the fact Itis that a few days previous to the Harper’s Ferry Cook was engaged in shoo'ing ata target, at Knoxvill F miles trom the Ferry, with several bo; After be was done, he oalled on a Mra, od hor to y Hughes, an aunt of hia wito, and sicongly a4 Pig ‘slave man, B'ating that ‘are 4 ht “something turn up to render him valueless; that if sue wuld oon. sent to sell bim, he know a gentleman who would buy the man and give her $1,000for him.’ This was a strong point agaivat ‘Gok, and clearly proved his utter recklcsiness and weakness of character, and his real disposition.

Having been called upon to make a fair statement in regard to the ways and means of our breaking jail, I have agreed to do so from a sense of duty to the Sheriff of the county, our jailor, and the jail guard. We do not wish that any one should be unjustly censured on our account. The principal implements with which we onened a pas- sage through the wall of the jail were a barlow knife, and a screw which we took out of the bedstead. The kuife was borrowed from one of the jail guards to cut a lemon with. We did not return it to him. He had no idea of any intention on our part to break out, neither did the sheriff, jailor, or any of the guard, have any knowledgo of our plans. ‘We received no aid from any person or persons what- ever. We had, as we supposed, removed all the brick except the last tier, several days ago, but on the evening previous to our breaking out, we found our mistake in ard to that matter. fe had intended to go out on the evening that my sister and brother-in-law were bere, but I knew that it would reffect on them, and wo postponed it—but I urged Coppie to go und I would remain, but he refused. We then con- cluded to wait. Igot a knife blade from Shields Green, and with that made some teeth in the barlow knife, wth which we saw- ed off our shackles. We hai them all off the night pre vious to our getting out. Coppie went out first and I fol- lowed. We then got up fon the wall, when, I was disoo. vered and shot at. The guard outside the wall immediately came up to the wall. We saw there was no chance to escape, and as it was diecovered that we had broken jail, we walked in delibe- rately and gave ourselves up to the Sheriff, Captain Avis and the jail guard. There was no person or persons who aided us in our escape. This is true, 80 help us God. JOHN E. COOK, EDWIN COPPIE. AGES OF THE PRISONERS. John E. Cook was twenty-nine years of age, having ‘been born in Haddam, Conn., in the year 1830. He was about five feet seven anda half inches high, with light hair and fair complexion. Edwin Coppie was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, and was twenty-four b previa ‘age, five feet nine inches high, brown hair, and dark complexion. He had astu- pia look, but was undoubtedly of good intellect, and rather intelligent. Shiolds Green was quite a black negro, and but twenty- {wo years of age. He was born in Rochester, New York. He pega & good countenance, and a sharp, intelli gent lool John Copeland was a bright , with bushy head and rather straight hair, twenty-four years of age, and looked younger than 2. Stevens and Hazlitt will not be tried until the May term. of the court. THE BODY OF JOHN E. COOK. The body or Mr. John E. Cook, executed at Charles- town, Va., on Friday, arrived in Williamsburg about onc o'clock on Sunday morning. The body was taken in charge at Charlestown by the Adams Express Company, and arrived at Jersey City about eleven o'clock. After some delay it was taken by an express wagon to the un- dertakers Mr. John Kendrick, 89 Grand street. It was enclosed in an ordinary black walnut coffin, of the Phila- delphia style, and dressed in a black suit of clothes. ‘The face and neck were much discolored, and decomposi- tion had already set in. The remains were removed from the coifin and prepared for the process of embalming. Governor Willard, of Indiana; Mr. Voorhies, Secretary of State’ of Indiana, and Dr. Stanton, all relatives of the deceased, accompanied the remains trom Charlestown. Yeeterday Dr. Holmes proceeded to embalm the body, and yesterday afternoon had succeeded in removing all traces of discoloration about the neck and face, so that the body looked perfectly natural. ‘The coffin in which the remains will be placed Is of rosewood veneer, silver plated screws and handles, and bears a silver plate with the following inscription: « John E. Cook, died December 16, 1859, aged 28 years.” Mrs. Cook, the wife of deceased, desired very much to see the body yesterday; but it was not deemed prudent, inasmuch as it presented so unnatural an appearance. e arrival of the body created but little excitement in fe city, as it was not generally known where it had been taken, and those who called at the undertaker’s were in- formed that the remains could not be seen until this morn- ing, when they will be taken to the honse of Mr. Croly; but’ the public will not be permitted to view it until the day of the funeral. THE FUNERAL OF JOHN E. COOK. The funeral of Jobn E. Cook will take place at No. 114 South Ninth street, Williamsburg, on Tuesday, at ten o'clock, the residence of Sam. L. Harris, Esq., and not atthe Reformed Dutch church (Dr. Porter’s), as before announced. The relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend. THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT IN NEW ENGLAND. OUR VERMONT CORRESPONDENCE. Vercexnes, Vt., Dec, 10, 1859. Popular Sympathy for John Brown—What is Thought of (he Harper's Ferry Foray in Vermont—Southern Threats and Northern Recklessness—The Union of No Account— Incendiary Speech of Wendell Phillips—The Helper Doc: trine Fully Endorsed—Slavery to be Abolished At all Ha- sards—Hard Hits at the Slave System in South Caroli- na—Southern Chivalry and. Northern Pluck, dc. ‘The Harper’s Ferry foray, the execution of John Brown and the struggle for the Speakorship at Washington, aro the all absorbing topics of conversation in the New Eng- land States. People living in New York and other large cities have but Httle idea of the feeling manifested in the rural districts on the subject of slavery. It is only by travelling through the interior and mix- ing with the people, that you can arrive at a correct conclusion. Nine-tenths of the inhabi- tants in New England sympathize with John Brown, and look upon him in the light of a martyr, It istrue many republicans condemn the conduct of the ‘old hero,” as he is universally called, but the great majority of the sympathizers applaud bim to the skies. Through Vermont the latter fecling is manifest from Bennington to - Albans. The Southern threats of disunion are every- where treated with contempt. The North, they say, has nothing to lose by a dissolution of the Union, while the South would have nothing to gain. In fact, they are per- fectly reckless on the Union question, and ready to meet the issue at any moment, Last evening a deputation of the citizens of Vergennes Waited upon Wendell Phillips as he was on his way home from the Brown funeral at North Elba, and requested him to deliver an address on the recent events which trans- Pired in Virginia, Mr. Phillips eaid it would give bim Great plensure to address the inhabitants of the towa, and without more ado proceeded to the Court room and entertamed an audience of several hundred persons for nearly two hours. He commenced his discourse by say- ing that he felt highly honored at being afforded the privi- lege of aiding in conveying the remains of John Brown to their last resting piace. He thought the day was not far distant when the citizens of Vergennee would tell their children with no ordinary degree of pride that they once saw John Brown. They ‘might not be able to appreciate him now; but when the world came to see the old hero's gravé and history had recorded his glorious acts, how Proudly would they exclaim “I knew John Brown.” Tho neighbors at North Elba said they knew him weil, aud the speaker had known him for ten years, but it acamed as though none of them knew bim. If they bad called upon God to create man to represent the ideas of the Northern people, divine power could Got have given them a better example than Joba Brown, Mr. Phillips said he was sorry that the Rev. Mr. chia, who accompanied Mrs. Brown the way f farper’s Ferry, could mot ogcupy thoi attention for bait an hour or 60, in giving thom a narra- tive of the recent events at Chariestowa, but te would impart to audience some of the facts a8 say were communicated to him, Tho speaker then entered into a recital Of the oiroumetances attending the trauaportation of Browa’s body from tho place of execution to the home of the deceased in Exsex county, N. Y. Ho held up the miltary display of Gov. Wise to ridicule, and bitterly de- nounced the system of espionage employed on all tho high- ways throurhea Virgivia, When Gen. Taliaferro, on the day before the execution, refused to allow Mrs, Brown to converte with her husband longer thao two hours, the “old hero” remarked :—‘General Taliafor:o, excoute your ordore—I have no favors to ask of Virginia.’” Evea while Brown was at Charlestown sho was closely ‘and besieged on all sides by tho chi- morning of the exeoution the ‘old hero’’ walked out of the gates of fame, and with a face culm and serene, bravely mot his death. The old Puritan father, who never the morning prayer, and never sat down to a meal without asking the Di met his death as he should hat tLe ty i his mouth refused to utter any other word than hero. ‘They could not revile the prisoner for a single act commit. ted in Virginia, but were by. x to go back to Kansas and rake up some old slanders. John Brown's character for truth and veracity stands as high as any man’s in the es- timation of Gov. Wise. When one of the aus; insur- gents was arrested and brought before Go: , the lat. ter discharged him upon Brown’s stating that the prisoner was a border rofflan, and that ho knew him ag such in Kansas. On that occasion the mere word of John Brown shielded an innocent man from imprison. ment, and perbaps punishment. John Brown’s word secured for the prisoner what the consituiion was unable © = afford him— his liberty. When the first news of the Harper's Ferry foray reached Bos- ton, and the whole affair wag wrapped in mystery, I im- mediately exclaimed to a friend, “I guess that’s John Brown.” The next day the marines captured tho insur- nts, and my coucluston proved to be correct. John wh showed us that the South was nothing but tinsel and parchment. Go to Virginia and you will find yourself arrested. You cannot travel there without a passport. Go to a telegraph office and say you want to send a de- spatch North, and they will tell you to see Goneral Talia- ferro, and it he aliows you to send it all right, You can- not move without a permit. The young men are ail in arms to protect the State when.there are no enemies to be found. Who revealed this despotisn, Iask you? Why John Brown and his comrades, who were equally ag brave as those who fell at Balaclava. None of that little band ran away. Every one stood at bis post t> the last. Not one turned his back on Virgiuia. Brave hearts,every one of them. They kept Virginia atdeflance until the federal troops came to the rescue. And when imprisoned within four walls, the head of the band could not be cowed down by such men as Governor Wise or Sena. tor Mason. Before them John Brown looms up, and he teaches them that they are but mere dwarfs compared with him. You cannot be neutral on the slavery ques- tion. Children of the Green Mountains, aud deaeendants of Ethan Allen, you will have to provide Governor Wise with muskets to keep the poor slave in bondage, or imitate the glorious example of him who is now sleeping at North Elba. John Brown said—‘ My fathers have given their strength to the masters, but 1 will give mine to the slaves, whom my fathers forgot.’ Public opinion is formed by the press. One half of the news. pers try to excuse Virginia for hangiug John een: while the other half justify and praise him, Even Southern people cannot help praising him. A slaveholder in Baltimore sent me $20 a day or two ago for John Brown’s family, and I havo heard it said that it is not un- usual for Southerners in drinking to raise their glasses and drink to the bones f of the departed. Johm Brown bas gained our heart and touched our religious sympathy. In less than three years trout now ® hundred pulpits will exclaim, cca Brown eo} feat ae cw log ;hting agaihst slavery occurre im when he was but enagers old. He sawa black man severely punished by bis master, and from that day he was consecrated to the freedom of the down trodden race. From a hero he has bloomed into a martyr. Danicl Webster lived so. venty years, and taught us nothing. He never accomplish. ed one-tenth part of what John Brown did. John Brown awoke a great Commonwealth, and she trem- bled before him. Virginia will never sleep soundly again, for an uneasy conscience has been planted in the breast of every slaveholder within her territory. As the first gun fired at Lexington decided the fate of the colo- nies, so will the guns at Harper’s Ferry decide the fate of slavery. What Washington and Lafayette were to our forefathers, so will John Brown and his companions be to the oppressed race for whom he gave up his life. You all know that I am a disunionist—not that I want to sever the Union unnecessarily, for we ought to be one nation— but what I want to see is that constitution abolished which on One man a right to hold another in bondage. Probably Virginia could exist out of the Union; but as to South Carolina, she would not havo crutches to stand on, exceptshe procured them from the North. In the South the Principle is retrogression. Instead of increasing in wealth and population like the North, she is actually decreasing in ;and this is the effect of the slavery system. How is it in South Carolina, for instance? There a minority holds the majority in chains, and it is called a govern ment. Cicero, two thousand years ago, declared that a concord of robbers, or a cominunity of pirates, could not form a government. How can South Carolina be a State, then, withont the consent of the majority? She cannot show a title deed. She knows, though, that her subjects should be free, but she cannot afford it. The white men there don’t pretend to work; they eat, drink and clothe themselves out of the sweat of the poor negro's brow. The consequence is the black man is degraded and indo- lent. If you tell him to dig a trench he will proba- bly commence the work with a hoe. When you tell him that the work should be done with a spade, he goes off, stays away half an hour or 80, and on his return tells you he could not find the spade. You check him for his carclessness, and remind him that he last had it in the barn, when he replies “that he never thought of looking for it thero.”? Ho is not bound to think, you know. You have only bought bis blood and muscies, not his mind or heart. Now, if tat same negro had a little farm of his own, and could bay his wite a new dress with the product of his labor, don't you think be would know where to find his spade and his oe? If the negroes were free the Southern States would not have to call upon the North to pay their postal ser- vice, but would be able to pay their own indebtedness and have something to save up in the bargain. The speaker then referred to the act recently passed by Wis- consin, which protected the fugitive slave, and the Per- sonal Liberty bill of Vermont, and hoped thatall the North. ern States would pass similar enactinents, and concluded bis eulogy on John Brown in the following language:— John Brown bas shown that there is no life or military ex- perience in Virginia, for with twenty-two muskets he demonstrated the fact. He died in a great cause, but the gratitude of the broken hearted covers his ashes with tears. Every word he uttered struck off a month from the endurance of slavery. He went down to the grave, and four million slaves exciaimed, “We may yet see liberty.” Of John Brown and his little baad what further can Tsay than that we should go and try to do like- wise. The speaker was’ warmly applauded throughout the entire address, and at its close received @ vote ef thanks from the audience. CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION IN JER- SEY CITY. A GREAT GATHERING AT METROPOLITAN HaLL— UNION SPEECHES, RESOLUTIONS, ETC. In the face of a storm of rain and wind of the severest character, a large, highly respectable, and enthusiastic Union meeting was held last evening at Metropolitan Hall, in Jersey City. At an early hour a splendid brass band was in attendance, and by performing some of the liye. Hest and most popular aira a large gathering was soon collected together, filling the bmi to its utmost capacity. A banner was suspended immediately in the rear of the speakers’ platform, and contained the following inscrip- tioys:— ‘ ©The Union must and shall be preserved.""—Jackson. “No North, no South, no East, no West.” —Olay, “The Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.”— About cight o’clock the meeting was called to order by the Hon. Mr. Wortendyke, who nominated for president Mr. Frederick B. Betts. A long list of vice presidents and secretaries was thén read by Messrs. Condit and Winfield, after which, on motion of one of the gentlemen, the following committee of five, to draft resolutions, was appointed by the Chair: 5. R. Miler, C. 8. Winfleld, 8. B. Brown, Dr. Condit and J. F. Randall, Letters of sympathy with the objects of the meeting were also read from the Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, Gen. Joc! Parker, of Monmonth, Col. Wall, of Burlington, Jobn Runke, Jamies Bishop and Silas Condit. Mr. Burts 'then addressed the mecting. He said he could not, as the preaiding officer of the meoting, withhold the expression of his opinions respecting the recent out rage committed upon @ sister State in the South, While disunion was discussed frecly, in and out of Con ress, Might it uot progress until it became a gad reality? fhe Harper's Ferry outrage waa Dot nustained by the muss. sea North, South, nor West, "And if the Garrisoas, Phillipses, Cheevers, Beechers, Greeleys and Smiths wished to advocate their sentiments, why did they not go where slavery existed and preach there, and not everlast- ingly in the North? (Immense applause.) Virginia, in auataining the majesty of hor laws, did what our fathers would bave done under sirvilar circumstances. What conld be said of men who would canonize such vile cha. racters.as Brown’ At the adoption of the constitution twerve of thous States wore slave States, and New Jersey had aboliehed slavery peacefully and lawfully, without ‘avy obstruction from the South. Were dt the intorest of New Jerecy to have slavery now, she would have it ia spite of everything. He hoped the feeling would¢o forth to the South that New Jersey was a conservative, Union- loving State, aud trusted iso that in ‘this dark crisis of the country the immortal Jackson's words would still be remembered and acted up to: “The Union must and shall, ve preserved,” (Renewed and long continued cheering, Mr. Winvietp next read the following resolutions, wate were loudly cheere 1, and adopted unanimously :— Resolved, That as citizens of ope common cour we know no No? th, no South; we divcard all geographical stions, all local prejudices: our berty and our Upion are inseparably ‘coonected Mindful that the consti-ution was adopted for the urpose of formiug & “more oerfect union ensuring domestic tranquility aud_p keneral weifare” we declare our loyalty 10 this bond of our political union, all its ro tisca’and: requirements; and se citizens af'oue of the Bistts (hak congarres ta =p we renew our p! wavering and unrese: MaNalved, That che blow which tus boen struck at the sov- ereignty of Virginia has vibrated throughout our whole land, ‘and we bereby give our united expression of condemnation ii ie acre tbe late aasault upon the peace of that State, 8 felt that the Union was in danger. crata, Americans, whigs—I was going to say republi- cans—(laughter)—and I hope wo have some of them here—all are in favor of the Union being preserved. What did Wendell Phillips say in reference tothe John Brown foray? He said that if a man was in doubt about the fairness of a iw, he should use his own judgment as to whether that law should be obeyed by him. What kind of treasonable words are these? That fellow should be taken to account tor his treasouablo language. (Ap- plause). And what think you, fellow citizens, of the men who compare John Brown to Washington, abd even to Christ, because he died to save negroes? (Laughter). We have uo more right to interfere with the rights of the South, in reference to their negro property, than we would bave to take our neighbor's cattle from his farm. Our Northern fanatics are dissemi- nating revolutionary sentiments among the slaves through- out the whole South, to the danger of the tives of the white inhabitants, The North bas the power, and should ‘act mngnanimously towards the South. We should lot the South co as they please with their negroes, though we may think it well to prevent the extension of slavery, Applause.) There is a bond between all these States at should be preserved, and that bond isthe Union. I have lived since the war which gave rise to our Union, and I hope I sball close my life before a civil war shail dash it into irreparable fragments, (Loud applause.) Joun P. Jackton, of Newark, next addressed the meet- ing. Ho said the act of John Brown in Virginia could not or should not be coutenanced in any way. Tho vorpe- trators of such actions deserved the fate which has be- fallen them. He bad studied the constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and he considered these sacred instruments the most wonderful that were ever framed, and he considered the purchase of them in the blood of our forefathers a price which rendered them too dear to us to be thrown away by sctional agita- tion. He was glad to see New Jersey taking the loyal stand for the Union which she has always held on important occasions. Applause.) He did not believe that avy men but hot headed aboli- tionists are in favor of disunion—fanatics and aboli- tionists. He believed no more noble or brave citizens exist anywhere than those along the line of our railroads from this city to New Orleans. No more loyal men exist anywhere than in the South: (applause.) “And thoy are ‘ossly misrepreeented on the floor of Congress. The Souticcners feel their dependence on us, and thoy desire to cling to us, and they appreciate the stand by New Jersey on all ni at subjects; and they know that in New Jersey no abolitionists could ever make an! headway.

When shall such happy results flow from re- yolution as did from ours? We have all that Heaven in her bounty can bestow. Beware, then, fellew citizons, how you receive disunion or fanatical doctrines, which endanger our country’s existence and the happiness of its people. The South holds her property; we have no Tight to interfere with it. because it is held by the right of Jaw, the law of our constitution. This is the doc- trine of the immortal Webster, the illustrious Clay, and the ever memorable Jackson. Ex-Alderman Wickwanrs offerei a resolution condemn- ing the cqurse of Mr. Pennington in voting for a Speaker who had recommended Helper’s book. ‘The motion was received with immense applause, but the Chairman declared it out of order, as it had not beon Presented through the proper channel. Mr. WasinncrojWiLuams, an opposition man, attempted to speak for the purpose of opposing the resolution, on the Rround that the meeting was composed of men of all Parties, and consequently it should not partake of a politi- Cal cast. Tho speaker was hissed from the body of the audience, and as Mr. Wickware again arose to speak, amidst great confusion, the meeting was adjourned. LETTER FROM GOV. WISE, OF VIRGINIA, TO THE JACKSON DEMOCRATIC CLUB, NO. 1,0F BOSTON. Boston, Deo. 15, 1859. The following is a copy of a letter from Governor Wise, of Virginia, to the Jackson Democratic Club, No. 1, of Boston, read before the club this (Thursday) evening, and ordered to be published. It will be seen that tho let. tor is in response to a resolution adopted by the club, en- dorsing the action of the authorities of Virginia, in rela- ion to the Harper’s Ferry outbreak, and conde mnatory of the acts of old Brown and his sympathisers here. The “Jackson Chub,” although young, is reported to haye a vigorous existence here:— Rionmoxp, Va., Dec. 10, 1859. GENTIEMEN—I have received with cordial satisfaction the resolution of the “Jackson Democratic Club, No. 1, of Boston.” Virginia sent her noblest son, and not one alone, to bleed by the side of a Warren on Boston Heights. ‘We have not another Washington to send in times to try men’s souls, but the Washiagton and his neighbors, who were lately taken out of their beds to be imprisoned and held in hostage by a marauding party of border rufflans, in the county of Jefferson, in the Commonwealth of Vir- ginia, would have freely left their beds and volunteered again to go to Boston to fight by your sides against any common foe of a common country. Why wero thoy thus assailed in their home castles? ‘By whom? In. ‘Webster's language I ask: Shall your children be aliens to my children, shall my children be aliens to your children? Heaven forbid that the countrymen of George Washington and Jobn Haacock shall ever be altens to each other. Yet that must be, if the prompturs of John Brown. are not put down in Masgachusetts. We rely on the demo- cratic clubs todo it, and save the United States, May you struggle for us and with us as of old, and we be forever. Present me gratefully to your club, and believe me yours truly, HENRY A. WISE. To Save R. Gury and others, Committee. . ACTION IN NORTH CAROLINA. The following resofutions have been unanimously adopt- ed by the Governor and Council of North Carolina:— Resolved, By the Council of State of North Carolina:— 1. That the prompt, vigorous and effective measures adopted by the Governor of Virginia, for snpprossing the treasonabie invasion of that State at Harper's Ferry, have our warm and unquatified approval. That our’ fellow citizens of the State of Virginia are hereby assured of our entire sympathy in their present disturbed condition; that the cause of Virginia is the cause of North Carolina, and her destiny is our destiny. That wo will be prepared at all times to sustain her in her efforts to. maintain and up- hold the rights and vital interests of the slaveholding States; that those rights and interests can never be sure Tendeted without dishonor and disgrace, and. without causing a state of confusion and anarchy which will mark the destruction of the liberties and happiness of the poople of both States. 2, That our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to the President of the United States for the promptness with which he has sustained the Governor of Virginia in uphold. Sng the laws and in restoring tranquility to the people of that Commonwealth; and that our confidence in the devo- tion of the President’to the constitation and rights of the States, is undiminished. 8. That the Union of the States can only be porpetun- ted so long as it continues to be a Union of equals. Wo are still devoted to it, and would behold its dissolution with profound regret} yet, if we cannot hold our slave Property, and at the same’ time enjoy repose and tran- quillity im the Union, we will be constrainod, in Justice to ourselves and to our posterity, to ostablish new formsand Provide new guards for our security and woll being; re- lying for success inso doing on the righteousness of our cause, and on the support of that Providence who 80 signally guided and succored our ancestors in times of langer. 4. That while declaring our sincere devotion to the Union according to tho constitution, as it was establishod by our forefathers, and while we are ready to uphold and main‘ain it as a common Union of equals, we are not un- mindful of the fact vhat the disturbers of our peace have received and aro receiving the active sympathies and the substantial support of large portions of the poople of the non-slaveholding States; and that it behooves tho people of the non-siavoholding States, if thoy would restore ‘ domestic tranquility” and’ perpetuate the themselves from the condition of in- lethargy which seoms to prevail among dopt auch measures and take guch action as be necessary to prevent a i upon the Sout andes may ‘aaaure oar poate teat aro still ae confederate States ‘nial wt prety ; ng to the common oom: 2 sense Of insecurity ple, in consequet 4 want Of competeus itary or: kanization and weapons with which to arm the| maulis,, in ina of the sujeeiened disturbances of our!
